My daughter's weight is low, so I go through a lot of pediasure at the Doctor's suggestion. I have been buying the Wal-Mart brand, which is $7.99 for 6 8-oz bottles. They do not sell pediasure at Sam's, but I was wondering if they might sell it at any of the other bulk stores like Costco or BJs. If you have any suggestions or alternatives, I would love to hear them. Thanks!

I never found a good price at amazon. I used to buy the pediasure brand for about a dollar more at Target. Certain flavors would be at a lower price. Never saw it at costco. Never tried generic.

I would try ebay. My daughter is on Alimentum formula and I have purchased it all on ebay for about $10 less a can with shipping price included.

My former 25-week preemie was on it for over a year and a half. My pedi wrote a Rx for it and our insurance covered some of it. I also found some of the flavors on sale at our local grocery store, and would stock up then. I have never tried any of the generics.

Good luck.

You can try Carnation Instant Breakfast powder that you add to whole milk too! You should be able to find coupons for $2.00 off for Pediasure too.

My son has been on it for a few months and I buy it at BJ's. I found that it is cheaper than buying the generic. You can call pediasure once a month and they will send you 2 $2.00 coupons. You have to call them every month to get the coupons sent to you.
